Do U.S. politicians have to keep repeating to themselves that something is true in order to believe it?

As usual, and with a number of events, accusations with no evidence or specifics is perfectly ok for sanctions.

I'm wondering, do U.S. citizens get frustrated at having administration after administration, and alphabet agencies (which cost the tax payer
billions a year), which seem to be as transparent as a block of concrete? And they can't even go on record as saying stuff.

Oh yes to much unnamed stuff. Cant have as much as we get, as often, and take the news and or the *** with any account.

AND its gotten to the point were they want us to understand that an unnamed has more cred because they are risking life and/or job in hand otherwise
and still may be found out yet.....but they just gots to get this late hot scoop out to the public! WOW UFO landings were common at the white house
during the Obama years an unnamed source has told the bla bla bla.

I think you'd be nuts to think that they weren't meddling somehow, not just in this election, but many past elections as well... just like we like to
meddle in elections...
but usually, diplomats aren't sent home over it, even though we know that is going on.
this kind of makes me think that maybe there is something much bigger going on..
a prelude to war or something.

or maybe just a politician wanting to look like they are doing something important..

There's so many things I'd find insulting if I were a U.S. citizen, who's deciding what 'meddling' went on and what specifically was it? Can U.S.
citizens not make up their own minds without help?

I think with the information that was leaked, the Democrats know they've been exposed as being rotten from the core out, either it's trying to salvage
some cred, or maybe Obomba is on a last crusade of his own accord

So, its on! The leftist propaganda outlets in colusion with the Democrats, all determined to force the lap dog citizenry into believing that the
Russians hacked the election, even though there's no concrete proof of that that any reasonable person would accept.

See, the problem we have here is that in trying to make the Russians the boogey man, Obama and company are confronting an uncomfortable truth! A vast
number, a statistically significant number, of US Americans trust the Russians MORE than they trust Obama, the Democrat politicians, and the MSM
Propaganda Organizations.

I don't think they know or fully understand the sad lack of credibility and political capital remaining with either Obama or the Democrat party and
trust in "institutions" is at an all time low, including but not limited to the CIA, the Justice Department (which dropped the ball or intentionally
hid it with regard to HRC's emails), the FBI, and of course, DHS. The Border Patrol is a joke and the media are more viewed now as nothing more than
news fabricators.

I don't know where this stops and I don't know where its going, but one things certain, its going without me!

"Today, I have ordered a number of actions in response to the Russian government's aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations
aimed at the U.S. election," Obama said in a statement. "These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian
government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of
behavior."

Wow...Obama is really trying to crap it all up for Trump taking office now isn't he?

I think it will be funny to see how much smoother things are run once he vacates the WH in a few weeks time. Until then I believe we are going to be
in for more of the same crazed behavior from his administration.

If this is definitely true then I don't see Putin just letting it slide.

The worst is that the public is none the wiser as to why this is occurring save for the assertions of the authorities, and all anyone can do is trust
that the authorities have their best interests in mind and not their own.

Had they fabricated the information, I could see him being aggravated. But they (if they actually did) at worst just exposed the DNC's bull# for all
to see.

Idiots. You NEVER put that sort of crap in emails. Even if you're keeping it secure, which God bless her heart, Hillary wasn't.

THAT'S why you don't put your dirty laundry on unsecured machines. Hell, they can get into NIPRNET, I wouldn't even put anything incriminating on
SIPRNET. Go, DNC. But then, you double down and expel the diplomats for what YOU did? It wasn't even the US' info. It was the DNCs. You expelled the
Russian diplomats for the DNC's idiocy. SMFH.
